Abstract

Transmembrane potentials on the plasma (Δφ4) and mitochondrial (Δφm) membrane of isolated rat cardiomyocytes were estimated using the potential-sensitive fluorescent probe DSM. The values were −93±4 and −196±11 mV, respectively. Sufan significantly decreased the reduction of Δφm induced by chemical hypoxia. The effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on changes in Δφp were studied using the fluorescent probe dis-C3-(5). Lidocaine, novocainamide, richlocaine, and leocaine blocked depolarization of the myocyte plasma membrane induced by electrical stimulation and did not affect the Δφm.
